The video offers a sharp realist critique of how internal corruption and strategic overextension signal the classic decline of global hegemony. It effectively frames current geopolitical tensions as symptoms of a systemic failure to adapt to a shifting world order.

Iran War Is Just ONE PART Of U.S. Plan For Global Domination! – Prof. JiangAdded:
When empires decline, they behave in this manner where the empire uh at its height, it rely relies on consent. It relies on soft power. When it declines and its allies turn away from uh the empire, what the empire does is use force, use piracy, use pure power. Might becomes right. Um so what America is doing right now fits into the classical imperial decline pattern.
It's very popular to say that the United States did this war because Donald Trump is um controlled by Benjamin Netanyahu, the Zionists, and Israel. But the way I hear you explaining it now, it seems like some kind of bigger long game that the United States is playing for. We've talked about the greater North American project here and are uh is so was that just kind of a diversion that to blame it on Israel or is that real or has have the has the establishment been planning this all along and Donald Trump is just their tool?
>> So first point is that if you don't believe anything I say then I then go to the the Pentagon website, the front of war website and download the national security strategy. It is in black and white. It tells you exactly what the plan is. It is to contain China. It is to um control the western hemisphere.
Something called the Don Ro doctrine.
And it is to cannibalize uh America's allies. Okay, it's very black and white in that paper. That's the first point.
Second point is that um Trump doesn't have the power to do whatever he wants.
I mean, he is really the agent or the puppet or the scapegoat for the military-industrial complex. Um and the third point I will make is that if you just look at history when empires decline they behave in this manner where the empire uh at its height it rely relies on consent. It relies on soft power. When it declines and its allies turn away from uh the empire what the empire does is use force, use piracy, use pure power. Might becomes right. Um, so what America is doing right now fits into the classical imperial decline pattern.
>> So, okay. And so I mean you said that uh the United States was going to lose this war or get stuck in in a quagmire.
Um, do you see this working out? Do where do you see this heading in the next 3 to six months?
>> Right. So again, if you look at like history, these things never work out because there are three problems with this plan. It sounds great on paper, right? Where America um controls the western hemisphere. It has all the resources of the world. It's self-sufficient. The rest of the world is at war and needs to buy American weapons and resources. But if you look at history, it doesn't really work out for three reasons. The first major reason is corruption. Okay? So America right now is a very corrupt uh system.
And we know because um when whenever Trump makes an announcement, someone with impeccable timing is able to short the market and make hundreds of millions of dollars, right? So when um when when Trump announced a ceasefire um then someone buys shorts and makes a lot of money off of the oil market. So this this has been happening a lot, but really the problem in America is the financialization of the system. And so people make their money not making things but by on speculation. And this is a this is a um a pretty common theme in American um political system right now. So you know Trump has announced $1.5 trillion for the Pentagon and you said this on your show but most of this money is going to go into corruption.
It's going to be stolen. It's uh it won't actually go into weapons production. So that's the first problem the corruption. Second problem is political polarization. So when empires are in decline, they usually split up into different factions that fight um um that fight each other. They really don't care about the consequences for America's position in the world stage.
All they are concerned about are domestic politics. So even though America's at war in Iran, the Democrats continue to snipe at at Trump. Uh and Trump's continue to snipe at at Democrats. So Trump is much more concerned about the Democrats than he is about winning this war in Iran. So political polarization is a huge problem in America and it could possibly lead to a civil war. Um that's the second problem. And the third problem is nationalism. When you bully nations like what America is doing right now to the Europeans, right? So Trump says that he's going to take over Greenland, which which has really annoyed the Europeans.
he's disgusting over Mexico, um Canada.
Um so what this does is that it um it ganizes the people. It makes them much more nationalistic. And we can see this and we'll we'll see this happen over the next few years as the the Americans demand more of the North of the South Koreans, of the Japanese. And this will make them much much more more nationalistic, much more anti-American.
Same thing will happen in Europe as well. So these three factors corruption uh division and nationalism ultimately means that the empire will die at the end of the day.
>> Do do you have a timeline on that? So the so you know I was before uh this Iranian war I was just worried about the world stop using the dollar as the reserve currency. That was my big worry and I was just worried about how quickly that was going to happen which is why I we've talked so much about investing in gold and stuff on this show because when the rest of the world stops using the dollar that it's horrible for for the United States I mean and and us and our retirement savings and everything which is tied up in dollars. Um, so you're talking about So what is the end of the So, so you keep saying this isn't going to work out, right? You you've already delineated the problems with this working. It sounds like a great idea. I hear people say it talk about it, but it's you it's not going to work. So where does that where do you see the United States and say like five years?
>> Sure. So um there's actually a three stage uh process when empires decline.
Okay. So in the first stage the empire lashes out um um and forces it kind of cannibalizes vasiliz it allies. Okay.
And in the first stage things look great. The US dollar s uh soarses the American economy uh soarses because the world is dependent on LNG from the United States. The reality is that it's possible that Trump goes to China in midMay and they sign a deal in which China is buying more LNG from America in which case Trump's going to look like a political genius, right? Because he's attacking Iran. He's managed to uh humble China. So in the in the short term things look great for the empire because the world is completely dependent on uh American resources especially energy LNG. So that's the first stage. But in the second stage, >> can I stop you there? Can I stop there?
Sure.
>> The problem is that that plays right into the way American businessmen and our economy thinks. We think in short-term quarterly profits. We don't build for the long term. And so Trump probably doesn't care. He'll like, look, it'll it'll make the the next two or three the last two years of my presidency look like a victory and I I exit I'm 82 years old as a victor.
Right. Is that that's right?
>> That's exactly correct. That's exactly the problem. He's only thinking for the next two three years which are gonna be great for America but then you but then afterwards what happens afterward what happens is that you are u overleveraged your your empire is um overextended you're forced to call a national draft in order to supply the canon fodder for your uh empire your economy is overheated it's it becomes a huge ponty scheme um and slowly the rest of the world recognizes that we need we need to we need to unite against America if we are to survive. And in the third stage, the world goes to war against America on multiple fronts. The economic front, the diplomatic front, the military front.
And then America recognizes that it cannot actually sustain its empire. Its empire declines and dies >> and and so that when the empire dies, that means for sure civil war, right, in the United States.
>> Exactly. Exactly. For sure. Exactly.
>> And then we'll we'd have to create a new government, create a new constitution and all that stuff, right? Well, we started from scratch. Is that how it works?
>> Um, so um if you just look at America as an empire, it's most equivalent to Rome.
And when Rome started its civil war process, it never really stopped its civil wars. I mean, you might have an emperor emerge and create a 20-year peace. Um, but then when he dies, the civil war starts starts again. And um the so the reason why America may fall into a civil war trap where it is continuous civil war is that America has no peer competitor in the western hemisphere and as a result all the conflicts are in internal not external right so um an empire when it falls it's it fights civil wars but when it's threatened by an external enemy it it it unifies um against it foe But America doesn't have a foe. It doesn't have a competitor. So America could actually descend into hundreds of years of civil war.
and and so okay so you you your prediction is that in the next few years this will look like a brilliant plan to certain people because the dollar will sore and China's going to be buying more of our liquid uh gas and u but that how soon does that end and it starts to go the other way >> um right so I I think it's entirely possible that if Trump pulls off and uh he succeeds, he might get a third term.
Um and so I think you know for the next two to three years um this plan will look really really strategic and genius but again this is how all all empires behave when they decline. So uh this is a natural process.
Um, so, so you say we're not going to break off into civil war and fragmentation for at least an not what, five years, 10, >> right? Yeah. So, I think the civil war the process begins if Trump gets his third term, right? So, I say a Trump third term because if you want to carry this plan out to fruition, uh, you need a pretty stable continuity of agenda, right? Right? So, it's entirely possible that if Trump leaves office in 2028, the Dem Democrats come into power and they change this plan which would create complete chaos. Um, so you need a continuive agenda. You need basically a monarch in place in order to implement the strategy. Um, and if that were the case, this would cause create a constitutional crisis and this would be the basis for a civil war. So if you see this coming um so clearly and history says this is what's coming, the people in Europe must know it's coming. But why do you think they they're not reacting in the way a rational uh government would react knowing this is coming? They seem to be almost in a sense going along with Trump. They're now doubling down on their war with Russia for for for who knows why. what what what what why is what what's what's Europe's role in all this and why are they doing it like they're doing >> right so another characteristic of an empire decline is the over bureaucratization of society and what this leads to what the over bureaucratization sorry the bureaucratization of society democracy right you you create >> bureaucratization is that sorry yeah sorry you you create an imperial bureaucracy that becomes a bubble onto itself right so if you go to Washington DC I'm you've been Washington DC, it's a bubble, right? It's the richest place in the world. They could care less about what happens uh in the rest of America and in the rest of the world. Same thing in Europe where you have an imperial bureaucracy in Brussels and everyone in the bureaucracy is much more concerned about maintaining his or her right. So people in Brussels just care about collecting their paycheck, collecting a pension and they they want to just keep their jobs and so they're going to go with with the flow and they become completely divorced from reality. Right?
That's why you've you've seen in these past 10 years this massive surge of immigration into Europe even though Europe itself cannot um sustain this immigration. And the response to criticism is to silence critics, right?
So in Europe, um if you're a criminal, you're much more you're much less likely to get visited by the police than if you criticize the rise of crime on social media, right? So if you um make it a criticism on social media, you're much more likely to vis get visited by the police than if you actually commit a real crime. So that so Europe is uh I think it's basically become a dumpster fire. Um it's a much more advanced stage of decline than than America.
>> So basically just you know people looking out for again short-term thinking people looking out for their own self-interest not their country's interests not the long-term interests. And uh and so is is it the is it the strength of the milit the the the international military-industrial complex that uh that they they get more and they're doubling down on the war in Ukraine? They're doubling down on is is that just what it is? And >> yes.
>> Okay. And and so >> because you know Julian Assange said it best, the point is not to have successful wars. The point is have never ending wars because what wars do is they transfer taxpayer money into the pockets of a transnational elite and that's a very that's the point of war today. It's not to win wars, it's to have wars.
I it's just I mean I'm I still can't I'm you know I'm I'm I'm kind of shocked right that there isn't some you know there's no sober voices.
um inside the United, you know, there's like maybe Thomas Massie, maybe Ran Paul, but there's no like group of people that it's all just I mean I've been I guess I shouldn't be surprised because I've been saying it for years now that the United States is not just a little corrupt like Joe Biden gives his kid a no-show job and Trump gives his kid a deal with Saudi Arabia, but it's 100% corrupt. Like they're all corrupt.
No, when they get a session of Congress, they're not there doing the bidding.
I've said this a million times. They're not doing the bidding of students or workers or the elderly or trying to fix the inf. They're they're there just doing the bidding. How can we extract wealth from the taxpayers and put it into the pockets of the people you just described, the the the the WF international elite, the globalists, and that's that's what's so I guess I shouldn't be surprised, right? I guess is what I'm saying, >> right? So, another uh issue that people don't really discuss is the aging problem in America where the leadership in Washington DC have aged um a great a great deal, right? The baby boomers are still in in um in control. Think of how many presidents are baby were baby boomers, right? You had um Bill Clinton, uh George W. Bush, Obama, uh Biden. I mean like Trump, I mean I mean the baby boomers have happened in in command for a long long time. What we know is that when a population ages, the elite, they become much more authoritarian, right?
So if you're if you're an old person, you're in your 80s, what you care about is living for as long as possible. You care a lot about germs. You care about uh keeping keeping the streets clean and that and so you you you basically want a more authoritarian society. And that's why I think a lot of young people today are are so um um pessimistic about the future.
